Olivia's POV
Anxiety filled my body and mind all day Wednesday. I tried to distract myself in hopes of helping ease the pain of knowing I was duped into this date with Luke. This is a duped date..... Yuck!
I called Ed this morning and told him all about the horrendous acts my Mother and Father committed last night at dinner. He couldn't believe it. He seemed pretty upset, but then again so was I.
It's two hour until Luke picks me up in his, no doubt, spruced up pickup truck. Once again, compensating for his lack of manhood I suppose....
I did NOT want to wear a dress or skirt of any sorts to this date. I don't want to give him easy access to ANYTHING.
My Mom shows up in the bathroom doorway while I stand in my robe and dry my hair.
"What are you wearing tonight?" She asks getting all nosey.
"A nice blue blouse with white polka dots and black skinny jeans. Why?" I say trying to be civil in this frustrating position she put me in.
"You should wear something nicer than that! He is taking you to the nicest restaurant in town. You should wear a dress." She said dragging one I shouldn't have packed in my suitcase, but did anyway because I was being stupid.
"Oh, boy! The nicest restaurant in town!" I said mockingly. "What's the difference between them and the other restaurants?"
"I know it's nothing compared to what you are used to in New York, but it's the best we can do here in Ohio. You will just have to put up with it for one night." My Mother said walking away.
"Yeah, one lousy night." I mutter under my breath. I finish drying my hair and begin to put loose curls I it. By the end I would say I did a pretty good job. My long blonde hair falls behind me like a cape to a superhero. I lightly put on some foundation and mascara. I don't want to do my usual make up routine for Luke; he doesn't deserve it. I take one more look at myself and the mirror and judge that everything is good enough.
I walk back into my bedroom and see on the bed in my pretty light pink dress I packed thinking it would be used for a walk in the park......not this. My dress falls right at my knees. I primarily wear heals anyway so that is what I will wear tonight also. Maybe they will give me the confidence boost I will need to get this over with as quickly as possible.
Just as I finish putting in my dress the doorbell rings. This is it. I'm going on a date with Luke that bullied me in high school. I can't believe it.
I make my way downstairs to find Luke standing by the door talking to my Mother and Father. He wore a light blue button up shirts with jeans and, of course, moccasins. I despise those things. Typical frat guy. Always dressing up in button ups and polos. No variety.
I take my place next to him and say goodbye to my parents. As me and Luke walk out to his car, I am witness to exactly what I thought it would be. An oversized and over compensation for his manhood. The biggest truck on the market sat in my parents driveway. Color: a shiny, red. He would rather die than have a speck of dirt on his precious toy. I'm sure at this point Luke is real good friends with the workers at the car wash, and the owner.
I get in this massive truck all by myself. No help from him whatsoever. He is no gentleman I will tell you that. He is only worried about himself.
The drive to he restaurant is silent, a weird awkward silent. I don't know what to say.....I'm terrible at small talk......always have been.
When we finally do get there I am surprised to see a restaurant like this one is in a town like mine. Things have changed since I have been here.
Luke tells the waitress our reservation and she leads us to a table. I sit down, once again, without the help of Luke. He only takes care of himself.
"Is this place new?" I ask finally trying to break the silence while scanning the menu. I could really go for some pancakes right now. If I were in New York I would go to the diner on 5th and get some. They make the best pancakes.....
"No, it's been here for about 3 years now. But that's what happens when you refuse to visit a place. It changes, and you don't even know it." Luke say shortly. He isn't seriously upset with me over that? He was partly why I didn't want to come back in the first place!
"This place no longer has anything to offer me. If it wasn't for my parents still living here I would definitely never return." I say refusing to look up at him and make eye contact.
"How could you say that? This is your home." Luke say like its the most obvious thing in the world.
"No, this is your home, Luke. New York is my home. This place was just a holding tank for me until I could leave and really start living." I say trying to keep my calm about everything.
"I knew you would cave." He says. My eyes immediately shoot up from the menu to look at him. He sits there stating at me with a knowing smile.
"What are you talking about?" I ask confused as to what he is trying to say.
"I finally got what I've wanted all these years, you see. Now I can say I've had every girl I have ever wanted, even Olivia Benson. I knew you were weak when it came to your Mother. I used the whole wanting to settle down bit just so I could get to you. Crazy, huh? It actually worked." He says while I have the realization he tricked my poor Mother into this.
"Goodbye Luke." I say getting up from the table and walking out like a boss.....
